FAQ · 77023
Common questions
Who is my electric utility in ZIP 77023?
CenterPoint Energy Houston Electric is the TDU that delivers electricity and restores outages in 77023. Because Texas has retail choice here, you pick a Retail Electric Provider (REP) for the energy plan and monthly bill.

Who do I call when the power goes out in 77023?
Call CenterPoint Energy at 713-207-2222 or 800-332-7143, or report/track outages via CenterPoint’s Outage Tracker (centerpointenergy.com/OutageTracker). Your REP does not restore wires or poles. For a downed power line, stay far away and call 911 and CenterPoint.
How do I compare electricity plans for 77023?
Use the PUC’s Power to Choose site or WattKarma’s ZIP landing page (https://wattkarma.com/zip/77023). Compare Electricity Facts Labels at your expected kWh usage (often 500/1000/2000 kWh). CenterPoint delivery charges appear on every plan; advertised teaser rates can differ from your all-in bill.
